Love Island star spotted with Republic of Ireland footballer as rumours fly 'couple together'

A Love Island star has been spotted on a night out with Republic of Ireland star Aaron Connolly sparking rampant rumours they are more than friends.

Connolly has been seen out on a date with former girlfriend and Love Island series eight star Lucinda Strafford, as rumours fly the pair are back together.

Galway native Connolly who plays for Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion but is on loan as a forward for Serie B club Venezia, was previously in a relationship with the reality show star and influencer but the pair reportedly broke it off "dramatically" earlier this year, reports Galway Beo.

However this week, the pair's social media activity suggested things could be back on as Aaron and Lucinda both shared their movie night at an outdoor cinema this weekend.

In a post on Instagram, Lucinda shared pictures of her Bonfire Night celebrations.

She captioned it: "My kinda bonfire night".

The pair previously spent her 23rd birthday together last week, and the new cosy pictures indicated they could be rekindling the flame.

The Love Island star and influencer had previously confessed her relationship with the Galway native was not “the best relationship ever.”

Lucinda confirmed the split back in March 2022, saying: “We ended quite dramatically at the start of March, but then we made friends, and we share a dog, it's a shared dog and he's been looking after it.

“It was at my mum's house and my mum couldn't look after three dogs, so it seemed right, he was looking after it. We broke up quite a while ago now, but the ship has definitely sailed between him and me."
